Each quarter the culinary students at Robert Morris University, 401 S. State Street, open a pop up restaurant with a different theme and menu. Students do everything from selecting the food choices, designing the menu, ordering supplies, cooking, serving and cleaning. This quarter, our theme is "The L Stop" with courses from different neighborhoods of Chicago. Our quarters last ten weeks, but we need the first couple weeks to set up and the last couple to evaluate and critique. Open only on Thursdays, reservations recommended. This is a fantastic experience for our culinary students!

And when your hunger and thirst take over, there's no limit to the options open to you. A couple to try: Dusek's (1227 W 18th St), a high-end gastropub experience within a hip, historic building, and Alulu Brewpub (2011 S Laffin St), a brewery and craft cocktail joint with a warehouse atmosphere.

World in a City: Chicago's Culturally Diverse Neighborhoods

In a nation of immigrants, few cities reflect our nation&apos;s rich melting pot better than Chicago. From Chinatown to Pilsen, and Greektown to Little Italy, immigrants from countries around the world settled into these culturally familiar enclaves back in the 19th&#xA0;and 20th centuries.

Community Adult Day Care Center - STORY TELLING EVENT sold out - not a seat OPEN at MAYSLAKE Theater (seats 130) - we had people standing. Many thanks to all of our story tellers (12 in all), to Bruce Wolf - our EMCEE for the evening and to our sponsors and the volunteers that serve on the Board of Directors as well as our Executive Director, Susan Neustrom. All the silent auction items went so as fund raisers go - this was a good one for a very worthy 501c that serves seniors with dementia, Alzheimer's and nerve damage.

March 8, 2018 Alcoholics Anonymous meetings are held every Thursday at 7 p.m. at the Shrine of Our Lady of Pompeii, in the basement at 1220 W. Lexington St. The meetings are closed format, meaning they are for people with drinking problems or AA members only, and not for family members.

Hello. Is anyone interested in joining WW? I just joined and I go downtown to the meetings. If we can get 15 people interested in attending meetings they would provide a group leader. Then I would ask Harrison Park if we could use a meeting room. If you are interested please contact me with your phone # and your preference for AM, Lunch or PM times. Thank You! Be Well. :-)

AMAZON provided a $200 gift card for my favorite charity - which will be one of the silent auction items for CADC fundraiser on Wed. March 7 from 6 to 9 at Mayslake. Will wonders never cease? SYD's laying down because she's tired of this game. She's been waiting for days - but even SYD got a $25 gift certificate reward for dog treats on AMAZON. Doing the right thing - not keeping the packages as many suggested but getting them back to go to their rightful owners still is the way to go - PERSISTENCE PAYS OFF!

TERRIBLE customer service - I called AMAZON - gave them all the tracking numbers - 3 days ago and the boxes and envelopes are still sitting at my house. 7 packages were found by me on the street - they must have fallen off your truck

Amazon delivery has a long way to go. UPS has been at it for 100 years and still has issues. But delivering packages ain't like it used to be. Depending on your location you're lucky to even see the driver. Drivers are too busy looking over their shoulders!!!!

I live on a cul-de-sac with only one way in and one way out....that's why in the 11 years I've lived on this street, no home has ever been robbed. Cul-de-sacs are avoided by thieves for that very reason. The packages were at the very end of the cul-de-sac -...

I live on a cul-de-sac with only one way in and one way out....that's why in the 11 years I've lived on this street, no home has ever been robbed. Cul-de-sacs are avoided by thieves for that very reason. The packages were at the very end of the cul-de-sac - which leads me to believe that a large truck tried to make a difficult sharp 3 point turn to get out - perhaps a door did come ajar and thus the packages falling on the ground and under a bush - which SYD my dog actually discovered first. Since then - we have delivered two packages for a high school art department because they used social media to contact me having seen the post.

50 YEARS AGO YESTERDAY - 1st Broadcast of the nationally televised Mister Rogers Neighborhood on PBS. I had the pleasure of working with Fred and David Newell -- Mr. McFeely (a.k.a. Mr. Speedy Delivery) for 3 days in Chicago during the celebration of WTTW's 30th Anniversary

Hi Neighbors. We noticed that there is a for sale sign at a parking lot on the 2100 Block of South Indiana (adjacent to The Lex and across from the Wintrust Arena). Our community needs a full grocery store and a pharmacy. Any suggestions regarding how we can encourage these types of businesses into our developing neighborhood?

@Douglas_Peep,Yes, I was being a little cheeky about Ickes happening, but I have been attending meetings for years now and still not a shovel in the ground yet. Conversely, the new South Loop Elementary was approved long after the Ickes plans and that is going up at a furious pace. While I believe something will go up at Ickes, I think people and the politicians are ambivalent about it. It would not surprise me at all to see a reduction in the final number of public and affordable units.As for a casino, it baffles me that the city just watches people cross the border 12 miles from our neighborhood and contribute to the State of Indiana. I have little doubt campaign contributions flow from those connected to our city officials to kill such an idea. Given the history of Ickes, I doubt a casino would ever go in on that site.

Residents are not being notified of neighborhood criminal activity in a timely manner. If residents and guests are not notified by the city or association management companies, the criminals are free to attack again until they are caught.There must be a better notification system sent immediately once an attack is reported by a victim.

John Adams IIIwill be in prison for quite a while.So what your saying is he will get out How about this. Bring back the death penalty so people like this will not be getting out of jail. Instead be carry out of jailAlso your words not mine.In a perfect world, not in Chicago. He'll sadly receive a slap on the wrist and be let back out sooner than you think.

This guy isn't going to receive a slap on the wrist, he killed a cop, it's game over for him this time. It's the slap on the wrists for his previous (non-homicide) violent crimes that need to be the focal here, and what judges let this filth back out on the streets before he finally hit the murder lottery. These liberal judges need to be publicly shamed and outed.

Gazette Chicago " ATN: February 2018

February 2, 2018 The Art Institute of Chicago will present I Strongly Believe in our Right to be Frivolous, the first solo museum exhibition in the United States of works by Mounira Al Solh, an artist living and working in Beirut and Amsterdam who creates drawings on yellow legal paper.

These are great ideas, thank you! I also found a site, takelessons.com, where you can look within an area code and see reviews for a teacher, too. I'm going to check out the places you recommended, as well. Thank you!

Follow-up, I tried the takelessons.com and had a miserable experience. Wouldn't stop harassing me after I created a profile, and when I did try to enlist a teacher, the teacher backed out within 30 minutes. Was told I would have someone try and help find a replacement, but no one ever contacted me and I called to get a refund. So, just FYI! Now looking at other options.
